⛳🍷 9 & W**E – GETTING INTO GOLF! 🍷⛳

Getting out onto the course for the first time can feel a little daunting… so what better way to make that first step than with a friendly 9 & W**e evening!

Members of Oli’s ‘Get Into Golf’ group headed out onto the course at Gorleston Golf Club, joined by three of our members who played a relaxed scramble alongside them.

The idea was simple — no pressure, no expectations and no need to know everything! Just a chance to experience the course, pick up a few tips, learn a little course etiquette and discover that golf really isn’t as scary as it might first seem. ⛳

There were good shots, probably a few interesting ones 😉, plenty of encouragement and, most importantly, lots of fun.

Afterwards, everyone headed into the clubhouse for a well-earned drink 🍷 and a chat about the game, some of the rules and all those little things that can seem confusing when you’re new to golf.

This is exactly what Get Into Golf at Gorleston is all about — helping people learn the game in a friendly, supportive and welcoming environment, before giving them the confidence to get out there and enjoy the course.

A huge thank you to our members who gave their time to play alongside the group and help make everyone feel at home. 💚

Thinking about giving golf a go?

You don’t need to already know the rules.
You don’t need to worry about being “good enough”.
And you definitely don’t need to be nervous about stepping onto a golf course.

Come and Get Into Golf with us at Gorleston Golf Club

East Suffolk Junior League

Gorleston Juniors March on Together.

Sunday marked the end of the fixtures for the newly formed East Suffolk Junior League in which teams from Gorleston, Rookery, Bungay and Halesworth played home and away matches against each other The format was individual match play with the players going off in handicap order with the results using the Stenson format of one point for each individual match.
At the start of the day it was mathematically possible for any one of three teams to win the league, Halesworth were hosting Bungay and Gorleston travelled to Rookery. Gorleston and Halesworth were both locked on 6 points each with Bungay on 5 points just behind. For Gorleston to win the league they needed to win their first away fixture of the season.
The camaraderie of the boys is second to none with all showing interest in their fellow teammates games as they worked their way round a very rare “green” golf course. Our team of 8, Ethan, Riley, Marcus, Max (Leuty), Romer, Noah, Olly and Harry set about trying to secure a victory which would indeed be enough to win the league due to Gorleston’s superior “goal difference” and boy did they deliver the goods with 5 matches won and 3 matches tied all square which rendered the result from Halesworth immaterial.
The team has also benefitted from the services of Luca, Gilly, Alfie, Max (Farman), Harley and Henry who played their part in the previous rounds.
The standard of golf these young lads are playing is truly amazing and that goes for their opponents as well and I’ve seen some excellent matches played in the true spirit of the game.
I think there maybe a presentation of the trophy at Halesworth sometime in the future and I will inform the team and parents if a date is set should they wish to attend.
Finally a big thank you to all who played, the parents and grandparents for transporting and supporting, Duncan for teaching the lads, he must be an excellent coach as most of them are better than him now and Maggie for stepping in when I wasn’t available.

It was great to welcome a few visitors from Essex yesterday, who certainly know how to make an entrance - and an exit!
Arriving and leaving by helicopter is definitely the best way to avoid the traffic! 🚁
We’re delighted you enjoyed your day with us and hope to see you back at Gorleston again soon.

Thanks for visiting ⛳️⛳️

Weston Bowl and East Suffolk Junior League

Impressive wins by Gorleston Ladies and Juniors
Gorleston had their last match of the season away at Flempton on Sunday with both teams requiring a win to secure the Division 3 championship. With everyone arriving in good time the team seemed relaxed and awaited the 1.30 start. First up was Team captain Marie Norman who bearing in mind her last shot on this course was a hole in one on the 9th last year proceeded to hit her first shot of the day into the ditch up the right never to be seen again so not a good start to proceedings. Fortunately, things improved for the team and with it being a nine-hole course I was able to strategically place myself in such a position that covered the 3rd, 6th and 9th greens with the clubhouse bar also with in range in case of emergency. After 9 holes the team were up in 3 matches, down in 1 and Gail was having a right old ding d**g battle with her opponent being all square at the halfway stage. Things were looking good but as we all know a lot could happen in the holes that remained.
The first match went to the 17th but unfortunately was lost by Gorleston, match 2 finished on the 15th with Jules securing a 4-& 3-win, match 3 was also tight with Gail 2 down with 3 to play eventually losing 3&2 to put us 2-1 down with 2 results to come. Within minutes it was 2-2 as Leigh was victorious over Flempton Lady Captain 5&3 which left Pauline out on the course 3 up with 3 to play. Pressure? What pressure, Cool as cucumber left in the freezer overnight Pauline halved the 16th with her opponent to secure a 3&2 win for herself and a 3-2 win for Gorleston which means they finish top of the league and champions.
Thanks go out to all that played and/or made themselves available to play this year especially those that were reserves in case of last-minute call offs. For those who caddied and supported the ladies and thanks to Penny Platten who without fail has sent the ladies good luck messages before every match.
Well done ladies, I’ve enjoyed this adventure with you all, your ever faithful Dogsbody.
East Suffolk Junior League
With Rookery hosting Hambro and Tolly semi finals the match was switched to Gorleston and Rookery sent a team down with their highest handicapper playing off 14.5. This may have played into our hands as all but one of Gorleston’s team were receiving shots on their own track.
Gorleston played well and were victorious on the day which has left them sitting top of this newly formed league after Halesworth were surprisingly beaten at Bungay yesterday. With Gorleston away at Rookery and Halesworth hosting Bungay next Sunday any one of 3 teams can win the league with Gorleston and Halesworth both on 6 points and Bungay on 5 points all is to play for however with Gorleston’s “goal difference” significantly superior to Halesworth’s a win would secure the league championship.
Well done to all our Juniors who played yesterday and I’ll see those available and chosen for the team at Rookery next Sunday, Trevor has informed me that we will also have a 1.30 start time at theirs.

Gorleston Seniors retain the “Roger Petherbridge Memorial Salver” for a 6th year!!!

Gorleston seniors played in the second leg of this annual match against the seniors of Great Yarmouth & Caister on Tuesday 17th August.

Weather conditions were superb, overcast, a small breeze and not too hot!

The greens at GY & Caister were in fantastic order, and given the drought the fairways were not much different to the “links experience” you expect there.

This is a long running “grudge” match between the two rival local clubs and whilst played on friendly terms has an “edge” to it, with “Hambro” (“Myhill”) style scoring.

The GGC team had the task of securing the win, having won by 17 holes at GGC on Friday.

Caister fielded a strong team, but with an uphill task, given the deficit form Friday! On the day they won by 4 holes overall, leaving GGC comfortable winners for the 6th year running!

Since its inception the balance is now in GGC’s favour at 19 matches v 15 over the last 30+ years

All agreed it was great to play the 2 legs close together, so we hope to do that again next year!

We all look forward to renewing rivalries again in 2027, but in the meantime have them to play in the 1st round of the Hodds Salver at Caister in October, when the winners will have the prize of progressing to play at Hunstanton!

No doubt Caister will be seeking revenge then.

Super Six Team win at Halesworth

A great win for our young golfers when they met teams from Bungay, Dunston, Halesworth and Rookery on Sunday 19 July.

Our team of Callum, William, Red, Oakley and Tommy played exceptionally well achieving a total of 127 points to put them in first place ahead of the home team who achieved 124 points.

The Life Skills Medal was awarded to Oakley who achieved a massive 40 points playing against two other teams, on his own.

Well done everyone.

Thanks to our family members and friends who are always there to support the team.

Ladies Haskell and Juniors East Suffolk League

HASKELL 36 HOLE SCRATCH COMPETITION

On Saturday 1st August Haskell pairing of Marie Norman and Jules Harbord went over to a very hot Halesworth Golf Course to play the inter-county 36 holes competition off scratch.

This was a quarter final match against a great, experienced pair to progress into the semi- finals, the course was dry and bounces were proving unpredictable on the undulating fairways which made it tough against the girls on their home course knowing the lay of the land as such.

Marie and I were down after the first 6 holes and started to pull back on the back nine getting it back to three, unfortunately we couldn’t keep this going and started the second 18 holes 6 down.

The second round felt very much the same with us going further behind after 6 holes, again we started to pull back with some excellent golf being played and we had a little spring in our step, unfortunately we were running out of holes to pull back further and after the 28 hole the Halesworth girls won 9 up with 8 to play, congratulations to them, the match was played from the get go in the fabulous spirit our game should be played and we all enjoyed being part of this match!

Marie and I would like to thank Gorleston Golf Club for the support, we are very proud of ourselves and to represent Gorleston Golf Club, we both said we would love to give it a go again next year.

Jules Harbord

EAST SUFFOLK JUNIOR LEAGUE

After a resounding 5-1 victory in the home match which left Halesworth a little shell shocked a few weeks ago we headed off on Sunday for the return leg in what was going to possibly be a title decider. Unfortunately, due to a last-minute call off and being unable to find a 6th member for the team we had to forfeit a game, so we started 1-0 down without a ball being struck.

Halesworth fielded all their ‘big guns’ for this one and first out was Luca having to give his opponent 2 shots on his own track the Halesworth lad playing off a 7 handicap went round in 1 under gross posting his best ever score and Luca’s 2 over gross was never going to be enough to get anywhere near finally losing 4&3

Convincing wins for Max Leuty (6up) and Marcus Bemment (5up) gave us hope of a possible draw or dare I say an unlikely victory, second match out was Ethan Bemment who had 3 birdies on the front 9 and was only 1up, the two lads carried on their epic battle coming down the 18th all square but an excellent birdie from Ethan’s opponent to win 1up put them 3-2 up in the match. Bringing up the rear was young Harry Page who got off to reasonable start but also found himself playing against a young lad who was also having a ‘worldie’ and raced into a 4up lead after 6 holes. Harry then slowly reduced the deficit to 1 down with one hole to play, victory impossible for the team but personal pride at stake. Yet another birdie on the Par 5 18th for the Halesworth lad left Harry 2 down at the end but he must feel very proud to have played and fought back so well.

All in all, an excellent effort from all 5 of the Gorleston lads against a very strong Halesworth team. We have two more matches to play, Rookery away on August 16th and Rookery at Home August 23rd, two wins and if Bungay do us a favour and beat Halesworth at least once it is still possible to win this newly formed league. The future of Gorleston’s Tolly and Hambro teams looks to be in a very favourable light with these up-and-coming Juniors.
